[K3CAL] The Amateur Radio Parity Act bill in the Senate, S 1685

[David Hardy]

To follow up on Shawn's comments at our last club meeting; this came in from 
Sean Kutzko, KX9X
Media and Public Relations Manager of ARRL today.


Hi All –
The following message went out this afternoon on the ARRL Facebook page. Similar messages have gone out to relevant SM’s and ARRL Directors and Vice-Directors for distribution.
Please help get the word out. Time is of the essence for this particular event. Thank you.
**********
URGENT: CALL TO ACTION!
The Amateur Radio Parity Act bill in the Senate, S 1685, could be scheduled for a mark-up in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation as early as next week. Opponents to the Parity Act have asked their members to call the Senators on the Committee and express their disapproval of the bill. Their messages include the same negative tactics and lies about the Parity Act that ARRL addressed in our recent YouTube video, "The Amateur Radio Parity Act: Separating Fact from Fiction."
If you are a constituent of a Senator on this Committee, we are asking each and every one of you to contact your Senators TODAY and urge them to support the Amateur Radio Parity Act. This simply cannot wait until later; calls from the opposition are already coming into these Senators. We need you to act NOW.
Critical states: Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia.
Follow the link below for complete information on this development and a list of specific ways to help. Please share this with as many Amateurs that you can, making sure you copy this text in when you share.
Now is the time to let your voice be heard. Thank you.
